Leadership is about influence and about connection. I am a matrix leader in the organization and I want to share a few precious insights I gained throughout the years on how to connect well with ANYONE in the organisation and use your influence for the greater good.

In Learning & Leadership Development, we need as many allies as possible. Those who have the ability to transform learning and encourage its transfer into current practices are actually the leaders of the people we have in our development programs. How do we maintain them as strategic allies for L&D?

I will draw a parallel between the Captain Planet cartoons and the ring that creates him, and our powers as L&D to create a "Captain Learning" mindset - emphasizing continuous learning and the collaboration of a trio of forces - colleague, manager, and L&D - to enhance ROI.

I will explore 3 main ideas. Silence as a transformative tool we can use in L&D. The only way we can use silence is by navigating through it (different from getting over it). We can start integrating silence into our activities once we're comfortable with it.

I will discuss the importance of leveraging social learning and content marketing in our employer branding strategy to attract unconventional talent. Conventional recruitment often fails to bring in fresh perspectives and creativity. By adopting an external hiring approach and identifying "hidden gems," we can diversify our talent pool and foster a culture of continuous innovation.

I invite you to explore together, drawing from our own resources and team values, how we choose and cultivate joy in our organizational culture, both from within and from without.

From the very beginning, peer learning has been ingrained in the fabric of our company's culture. It is a fundamental aspect of how we operate and grow together. I will share insights we've gained about empowering our top performers to become teachers in their own right.

The presentation is built to explore a new era in education where learning is engaging, personalized, and geared toward enhancing learning experiences. The focus is to show options to integrate agility into formal learning and create awareness about the possibility of transforming current education and teaching methodologies.
